I'm sorry, he's very very fast, and intimidating offensively... but the best player in the game cannot be a liability in half the rink.

Exactly. I can’t see how anyone can straight faced call him the best player in the game. He’s not good without the puck, and is lazy 3/4 of his time on the ice.
Handling the puck on the rush - yes, he’s the best in the world at that. Once his team has the puck in the zone, there are certainly better players. And the whole defensive part of the game.
